There have been reports about Rolls-Royce developing an all-electric version of its Phantom luxury sedan for several years now, the latest with newly appointed CEO Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes admitting such a car would be good idea.
Old-world charm, resolute styling and blue-blooded buyers may not be the first things one mentally associates with electric-powered cars, however, the combination makes perfect sense. Instantaneous torque, quiet operation and urban propriety all work in favor of an electric Rolls.
Now, less than two weeks out from the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, Rolls-Royce has confirmed that an electric Phantom prototype will make a debut at the Swiss event and has released these teaser shots.
Classified under Rolls-Royce’s ‘Experimental’ heading of concepts and prototypes, the new electric Phantom will go by the name 102EX and is destined for real-world testing (it will also be known as the Phantom Experimental Electric or EE).-motorauthority.com
